Diet Pop Cake

uwhuskygirl

This may be an old one, but someone at work just told me about this and we tried it and it's just as good as real cake!

1 box cake mix (any kind you like)
1 can diet pop (we found that dark pops like diet coke, diet dr. pepper, etc...go better with chocolate cake and clear/light pops like sprite zero, diet ginger ale, etc.. go better with white/yellow cake)
2 egg whites (this helps everything stick together better and keeps it a little moister)

Combine all 3 ingredients and pour into a lightly greased baking pan and bake according to directions on the box.

Serve plain or with cool whip for a little treat.

I entered it at "diet pop cake" if you want to see the cal/fat breakdown.

I made the diet pop cake as suggested by another user. It's just a box of cake mix, and 12 oz of diet pop (my son is allergic to eggs, so it is GREAT - I obviously skipped the egg whites). It worked SO well, and was very tasty! Then I expanded the concept to pancakes, and it was perfect (again egg and dairy free!).

Highly recommended!

I made this for easter...skipped the egg whites and it was moist and yummy..We did two...

One white cake with Diet Cherry 7-Up
and one chocolate with Diet Cherry Coke.

Topped both with FFree Cool Whip!

Enjoy!

I make this for my daughter because she is allergic to eggs. Our favorite is strawberry cake mix with diet sprite. I find it works better as cupcakes, a little easier to manage that way. I like the light cakes better when I tried doing chocolate.

as for the pancakes and egg allergies... I made yummy pancakes yesterday 2 cups reduced fat bisquick and 1 1/2 cup milk. No eggs needed and I couldn't even tell the difference.

AJCM

Yes - you literally mix the dry cake mix, with the can of pop (I use beaters, then grease or Pam spray the bottom of the pan (don't grease the sides - you want the cake to "climb") and bake as usual! Proudmama was the one who posted this last time!


Proudmama - we are thinking alike! I too make the pancakes with Bisquick - my allergic son was in heaven!

Personally I love cool whip but a friend told me that if you whip cake frosting it cuts the fat & calories in half so for those of you who feel that you need frosting give that a try!

This might sound like a silly question, but does the calorie content change per serving etc, dependant on which cake mix you use??

I like this though, sounds great1

Yes it will. And it also depends on the brand you use.

:blushing: Stupid question.... so if I take out my beaters and whip the frosting that lowers the calories??? I have never heard of that before. I know that you also can buy whipped frosting, but stick to the cheaper brands. :blushing:

sportsmomof2

Ok..maybe Im dense...::embarassed: But whipping frosting for less calories??

It seems to me that the calorie count would be the same regardless of how much you beat frosting. It may cover more which would probably expand the portion size but how would air breakdown calories.....

proudmama0118

No, it won't magically take away calories... otherwise I would whip everything!!! :laugh: But lets say by whipping 1 cup of frosting and getting 2 cups of whipped frosting (1/2 frosting 1/2 air) then you could technically say that it has 1/2 the calories.... does that make sense??

I just made this tonight with dark chocolate fudge cake mix and Pepsi one. Wow...this is crazy! It is SO GOOD! Thank you for this recipe!:bigsmile:

watch48win

Yummy! I put fresh strawberries on top and a little whipped cream....just like strawberry short cake...now I just need to find the low sugar cake mixes

nicki17

This sounds good. I just got a orange cake mix and am going to try it with Sprite!

watch48win

hubby and the kids liked it too!

klynn

Hi everyone!
I made this cake and frosted it with f/f pudding...wow! It is so good...:) During the holidays I added a can of pure pumpkin to the cake mix, then frosted w/ f/f vanilla pudding!

Do you add vegetable oil?

kerrilucko

Nope, no oil. Just a can of pop and 1 box of cake mix..

This is WONDERFUL advice. I too am very allergic to eggs, mainly the yolks so desserts are OUT but this I may try. I also like to look up vegan cake recipes I love me some Vegan Brownies!!!!! YOU ALL WOULD NEVER KNOW!!!!!!

:noway: wow I am really going to have to try this out sometime!! thank you

ColleenLG

It is a great recipe. I had learned it from Weight Watchers right before the holidays a few years back and I loved it. I could even get my husband to eat it with a little fat free cool whip. I had always done chocolate cake mix and 1 can of Diet Pepsi (no egg). But the idea of yellow/white cake mix with Diet Ginger Ale sounds VERY good. I will have to try that soon! Thanks for the tip.

sophialittle

yum yum thanks gang! i was just looking through my recipe books for something to take to a cookout today, took a break to log cals and found divine intervention!:laugh: mine's in the oven! choc cake mix with cherry coke zero! got strawberries and fat free coolwhip on standby too! thanks again!:flowerforyou:
